Re: 870 Jr. Mods
Maybe someone with a 3d printer can whip up a nice spacer to fit if that one doesn't work out?

Re: My Weatherby Element Turkey
Put mine up for consignment today. It sure could use a factory mid bead and a drilled and tapped receiver. Wouldnt cycle the 7/8 oz load either but had no trouble cycling a 1 1/4 oz load. The butt is concaved a bit I guess to wrap the shoulder. And LOP felt a bit long to me. Not a big fan of that an...

Re: 870 patterns
10's are for looks. They will fill out any pattern. I dont get why they even load em in the 12 or 20. I can understand if your loading a very light low recoil load for a youth and want the #'s up. I never shot tss in a 2.5oz load. #8's or 7's in a 2oz load is more than enough to get the job done wit...

Re: 20 vs 28
I have a couple that I am looking at now. The Weatherby element turkey 22" really caught my eye for the price. I was wanting something with a shorter barrel since my m2 is 26" and everywhere I have read says they can't be shortened. I am handloading my own stuff now so shells wouldn't be ...

Re: 870 youth vs jr
I just picked up the 870 youth jr tonight. Its what they had in stock and a great price tag or I might have snagged a Mossberg. Most likely wont get to shooting it for a bit. Plan on setting it up for the kids and shooting a 1 1/4 oz load of tss out of it. Sure will be interesting to see how it shoo...

Most years I set up and sit tight close to or in a field. This year I been on the move more trying to learn more of the area. I ha...

Re: tristar 28ga. jamming
Sorry to hear. I looked at the Tristar's and almost bought one. Glad I didnt now. Been hearing some bad also. Things have gotten worse since the country went down the crapper over the covid deal. Its hard to get good quality anymore.

Re: Weatherby element turkey 20ga
The first shot I took I had my head down too tight on the gun and the shot went low. That pattern looked to be a little better maybe. There was a small difference in the 2 rounds.

A little better than I expected. I might need to top this one off with a red dot sight.

Re: Weatherby element turkey 20ga
If anyone would happen to know the true weight of the 20 gauge Element would you care to let me know? I am seriously thinking about buying one if they are under 6 pounds. TIA Just picked one up. It weighs in at 6.2lb on my digital scale. Wow that's a chunker. Does anybody know if Weatherby makes a ...

SA28 tactical or SA 28 compact all purpose
Lets hear your thoughts. Seems to me the compact is throwing a better pattern than the tactical but the tactical is a nice camo with the pistol grip. Im torn between the 2 and was able to actually find a compact. Not much time here to decide. LOL I have components to load for the gun. Just need the ...

The 1 7/16 oz load is pretty darn deadly if it would handle it.
